BJ has just said Trump was wrong to claim free and fair election was fraudulent and Trump's speech before the invasion of the capitol was also wrong. Fair play. I don't like Boris, but at least he has stood up for democracy, and perhaps has the common sense not to alienate the President-elect.

Are you being serious? It's a bit late to be condemning Trump's actions and he could hardly say anything else!

Iranian leader's proudly gloating! US really are a laughing stock around the world and deservedly so. :)

Given the chatter on US militia blogs then I think the worst is yet to come. I hope Biden has some good protection on inauguration day. :o

Well, perhaps naively, I had assumed that BJ was in Trump's pocket. So, I guess you're right BJ plays the field. Trump is a dead duck, Biden is now to be cuddled. Although it remains to be seen how grudging Biden is, I have hopes that all this acrimony can be overcome.
Lol......just seen Elon Musk is the world's richest person. Make of that what you will!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if by Easter people have forgotten all about Trump. His dedicated followers have small brains and probably small memories. :)

I don't think Biden's followers will forgive him if he pardons Trump, but at the same time, he doesn't want to be the one who instigates Trump's prosecution and imprisonment, it must be left to other congressmen or women. Has Trump done anything that might warrant the death penalty? :)

One of the pillars of power. You can spout nonsense that results in people actually dying, but walk away.

Treason is a federal crime to which the death penalty can be applied. Willful neglect of the covid crisis, attempting to defraud the electorate, both viable. :)

I doubt that is going to happen to Trump. Last person executed in the USA for treason was in 1952.

Worst thing that will happen to Trump is he'll be banned from ever running for office again

What's happened to, stop treating your opponents as enemies but as fellow Americans?
